This is great , thanks for posting the pics , did you put the rear STINGER script on ??

 

[joelfish]

Can you name the company?

I'm sure a lot would be interested.

Cant realese the name as of yet but he was the designer and fabricator for the Bi modal catback system kia will be offering

Ok hear are some interior shorts that you asked for. Really happy with the Red Napa leather it’s very soft and red is more of a ox blood colour.

Also going to visit a paint shop tomorrow and see about getting some gloss red paint work done. Plan is to break the DCB up a little. At the front of the car there is a small soft mate black lip a the very bottom of the air intake as shown in this photo. I want to spray that gloss red. If it looks poor it’s a easy fix and I’m looking at adding a gloss red 3mm pinstripe along the ridge of the rear bumper that runs under the exhaust and across the rear. Thinking of testing this idea with some red tape first. Let me know what you think.

Sorry Tazza forgot to say running in Guide states don’t rev over 3500 for first 2000 km so I guess should be fine after that. I was planning on waiting until after first service which is at 3000 km. I have only done just under 400 km so far but have gone well over 3500 revs.

Found these pics of the New Hyundai i30 N to give you a idea of what I want to do with the red colour.

Oi, I resemble that implication....My doctors say I'm doing fine.....just don't mention words that start with "K" or "S"....and I'm perfectly OK with NO %$#@ING sleep.....

I would suggest wrapping it in vinyl instead of paint , 3 reasons : cheaper , wont chip , easy to remove . Its easy to do

 

[richard]

Thanks WestCoast I’ll look into that

Got mine yesterday! I was pleasantly surprised (and relieved) how nice the shade of red turned out.

Hi All,

has anyone with a car attempted to remove the small script stinger badge off the left side trunk?

Please share photos if so, keen to confirm there are no anchor points in the panel with our Ozzie model so I can remove it?

All good to remove...

No holes under the GT badge or Stinger script.

Mine are gone.

We trust you did it - we just NEEDED to see the photo!

Looks awesome! Was going to do the "K" badge but now think I'll go naked.....

Any removal tips?

That's weird....could you see the holes (from inside the bootlid) before you started?

 

[sticks]

No but some one said the large stinger badge fits the holes
